In due time.
Between the rifle, ammo and mags, I'm out about $1400.
Gotta replenish the savings account a bit --after I get my slightly-miffed wife something to smooth her ruffled feathers. ;-)
Understood. Having the means to defend your family is priceless.
You might want to also consider a Remington 700 in 7.62-51 i.e. .308. It will reach out and call long distance where the 7.62-39 will not. At Academy on sale you can get it out the door for under 600 dollars with a descent scope on it.
In the right hands that is a 500 yard weapon. With a great scope on it (bring money) it is a 1000 yard weapon if shot by someone with great skill.
